N.E. budget update

IMMIGRATION story from MetroWest not coming. These 3 stories added (also on budget):

SEATBELTS - Lots of fatals recently involved vehicles rolling over and ejecting occupants. Statistics say more people are dying on the roads in Massachusetts this year and nearly half are not wearing seatbelts.

BRAZILIANS - Failure of immigration reform, crackdowns by ICE and a worsening exchange rate between the dollar and Brazil's real currency are making the U.S. less desirable a place to live for Brazilians.
MetroWest/MINEO

FIRE FOLO - Good folo to a huge Uxbridge mill fire that happened last weekend. We look at how other former mill buildings have been renovated and rehabbed and how fire officials view this huge rambling brick structures. State fire marshal, for example, says he would rather see one of the old buildings updated and rehabbed than left empty and open to a devastating fire.
